Hit the road and immerse yourself in the area’s natural beauty on a self-guided driving tour through Cattaraugus County and the Seneca Nation of Indians on the sixth annual Routes to Art (RTA) openstudio artists’ tour produced by the Cattaraugus County Arts Council (CCAC). This Saturday and Sunday, May 18-19, from 10 a.m.–5 p.m., 35 artists all over the county will welcome visitors to their studios and business locations to share their love of art.

Funding Approved for Extension Service Building
E’ville Town Board Begins Renovations By Jann Wiswall
It took months to get approval, but on May 9, the state courts approved a request from Ellicottville Supervisor John Burrell to use funds originally allotted for an elevator in the Town and Village Hall building for renovations of the town’s Extension Service building instead. The $30,000 will be used to create a new, accessible courtroom, restrooms, waiting areas, holding rooms and offices. On May 10, the renovations began. This good news was reported at the May 15 meeting of the Ellicottville Town Board of Trustees. Burrell also updated the board on other progress that has been made at the extension service building, including removing walls, installing new interior light fixtures and more. Trustee Greg Fitzpatrick, president of
ECS Amusement Park Opens For Business
Fitzpatrick & Weller, has generously donated hardwood paneling for the new foyer, Burrell added. He also introduced the building’s new facilities manager Justin Dineen, who started the part-time job last week. The board discussed the need to make some renovations in the Extension Service building’s auditorium. Trustees asked Burrell to obtain cost estimates for the project. These estimates will be reviewed at a special meeting on May 20. Burrell described a new Fire District Study Group that has been formed and will meet for the first time on June 5 at 6 p.m. at the Extension Service building. The group, which includes government and fire and rescue department officials from Ellicottville, Great Valley, Humphrey and Mansfield, will investigate See E’ville Town Board page 7

School Budget Vote/Board Election to Be Held May 21 By Jann Wiswall
Next Tuesday, May 21, Ellicottville Central School District voters will have the opportunity to vote on the 2013-14 school budget and elect three new members to the ECS Board of Education. According to Board President Roger Spell, the “board has worked very hard” to find ways to meet
state-mandated requirements to increase contributions to the employee retirement plan, and to purchase the tools and materials required to implement new testing, assessments and the Core Curriculum. The board made cuts and found ways to reduce expenses in order to keep the budget increase to a minimum, while ensuring that students
receive the quality education they expect. And the board and district staff have made the effort to clearly explain to the public its process and rationale and final recommendation. “We want people to know how much money we must spend to keep the school running,” Spell explained before a public hearing that See School Board page 5

Connections: ‘Aw, It’ll Be Fine’
BY JEFF MARTIN
There’s a woman named Colleen Plimpton, a Connecticut gardener, who had this casual advice for Western New York gardeners last year: Get out those dig ital cameras and photog raph the prog ress of your plantings so as to enjoy and learn more. Plimpton said that on March 1, a moment of time when I was deep in the Midwest and nowhere near this area. Fast forward a year later and I’m now a resident of Western New York. It’s May 14, to be exact, two months past March 1. I read Plimpton’s article with enthusiasm and hope. I’m an amateur gardener, a novice in all things organic. Still, when I move to a new area I always plant something where I’m living as a kind of handshake, a gesture of welcome. Moving to Western New York was no different. Three weeks ago, I got in line at a local g reenhouse and purchased some sunf lowers, wildf lowers and other assorted specimens, a kind of cong ratulatory gesture for having survived by f irst winter in these parts. People were w everywhere, jamming the mulch and topsoil aisles. I went home, pulled on some gloves and planted the f lowers. The sun, a stranger in these parts so early in the summer season, warmed my back and legs. I was sweating and it wasn’t w even June yet. When I visited my sister in Spring ville, I told her that I put some f lowers in. She smiled and a shook her head. “What?” “I gave up on planting f lowers here a long time ago,” she said. “Aw, it’ll be f ine.” Last Sunday night, I came out of work to f ind my car dusted with snow. I had witnessed the log ic-defying moment earlier that day when I saw my breath at 9 a.m., but snow 10 h hours later was an aff irmation that weather patterns, especially pleasant ones, are not to be trusted in Western New York. I immediately cast a prayer for my poor dead f lowers into the h heavens, went home and turned on the heat. As it turns out, I didn’t have to bemoan the sudden cold weather. Had I done my research correctly, I would have known that I could have purchased some mulch and layered it liberally upon my raised bed. I got that bit of information from the website, www.buffaloniagaragardening.com, a website devoted to all matters associated with gardening and planting in weather-crazy Western New York. The following are some tips I think you could benef it from if you’re a gardener living in a place where it snows on Mother’s Day. * Spend the f irst few days of warm weather cleaning up your yard and garden instead of planting and pruning. * For next year, consider taking pine branches from leftover Christmas trees and covering those areas where the most sensitive f lowers g row — like perennial f lowers and rosemary plants. This will help with temperature f luctuations. * Test your soil for workability by taking a few big chunks out of it. If it’s wet and sogg y then the it’s not ready; if you can use a garden claw to break it apart, it’s ready. But be careful not to remove mulch from the prior season, for there is still good cover there and, believe it or not, n some nutrients. * Cut back stems of black-eyed Susans, ornamental g rasses or succulents all the way down to encourage g rowth. Most people wait until June to do this, but such plants are hardier e than tha you think. Most interesting is the fact that many gardeners and horticulturists believe that Western M New York is undergoing a weather change precipitated by global warming. If that’s true, then the planters will need to re-evaluate what plants and bushes they plant to withstand the traditional and modern condition. tra Is there a f lower that can withstand snow in June, or should I just hang my head in shame for even thinking such a thing?

Relay for Life June 1 Cont. from Front Page
Ellicottville central School is located at 5873 Route 219 in Ellicottville, and goes until midnight. Teams, families and spectators set up “camp” around the track for a 12-hour period. Throughout the day and into the night, members of each team take turns walking or running around the track until they collectively complete the 9.6-mile course. According to Page, the ACS director of Special Events for Cattaraugus County, the Ellicottville Relay for Life event has taken place for over 10 years thanks to the support of surrounding communities. Last year’s event raised more than $48,000. This year, organizers are building “Carnival for Hope” theme around the event, with games and a bounce house to

In addition, Jacob North, AKA “DJ Excite,” will be on hand all day long providing music, and there will be a live band (to be announced) playing from 4–6 p.m. Relay for Life Teams have been busy in their fundraising efforts holding parties, raffles and more. On May 26, at the opening of the Little Valley Speedway one group is holding a “Race for Relay” fundraiser. The Honorary Survivor Speech and Opening Ceremony at noon, a heartwarming and moving event, will be followed by the Survivor’s Lap at approximately 12:20 p.m. During the Survivors Lap, all cancer survivors at the event take the first lap around the
Postal Food Drive and Springville Stampede 5K
track, celebrating their victory over cancer. Relay for Life events also recognize and celebrate caregivers, who give their time, love, and support to friends, family, neighbors and coworkers facing cancer. This year’s sponsors are Coffee Culture (gold sponsor), Ellicottville Volunteer Fire department, Great Valley Volunteer Fire Company and the Ellicottville Times (bronze sponsors). Teams and volunteers are still needed in order to meet this year’s challenging fundraising goal.

If you’ve been to Allegany State Park recently, you may have noticed masses of tiny caterpillars hanging from cabins, trees and other structures throughout the park. Unfortunately, these are not the caterpillars that will turn into beautiful butterflies come summer. Rather, they are gypsy moths, and they are becoming a problem at the park. “The high population of gypsy moths was first discovered last summer by park staff who witnessed many moths flying around,” said Darrin Bierfeldt, a forester in the Allegany Region. “Shortly after, an employee of the U.S. Forest Service reported extremely high numbers of gypsy moth egg masses in the southeast section of the park.” An estimated 9,000 acres of gypsy moth defoliation occurred last summer, creating stress to the affected trees. Additional defoliation to
these trees, or trees previously stressed from other issues, could lead to tree mortality. According to Bierfeldt, the gypsy moths are currently in their first to second larval stage, measuring around 3–6 millimeters with a black body color. After about eight weeks from emergence, they will have gone through five molting cycles and could measure up to two inches. At this time, their body will be covered with hair and will be dark colored with distinctive markings (five pairs of blue spots followed by six pairs of red spots) along the back. From there, they enter a brief pupal stage. Adult gypsy moths emerge from the pupae in 10–14 days. They are present from July into August. Females have white to cream-colored wings, a tan body and a two-inch wingspan. Female gypsy moths cannot fly. Males, which are smaller than females, with a 1.5-inch

this annual outdoor learning experience on Friday through Sunday, May 31 – June 2, at Camp Allegany in the Red House area of Allegany State Park. The park’s cabins and campsites provide a home for many, while others commute from home or prefer local motels. Dozens of knowledgeable outdoor enthusiasts will lead hikes and field trips, offer classes and workshops, and present programs and demonstrations. Their topics will range from trees, flowers, ferns, insects, birds, salamanders, reptiles, tracks, mammals, geology, astronomy and ecology to yoga, papermaking, photography, sketching and nature games. Participants are welcome to just relax, visit or hike, as well.
The park abounds with wildlife, and it is not uncommon to see deer, porcupines, raccoons and the occasional black bear. There are also incredible numbers of wildflowers, birds, butterflies and trees. Volunteers from the Burroughs Audubon Nature Club and the Buffalo, Jamestown and Presque Isle Audubon Societies organize the annual outing. To register and for more information about the Allegany Nature Pilgrimage, visit http:// alleganynaturepilgrimage.com.

Area Farmers Markets Ready for Bountiful Season Friday, May 17, 2013, marks the beginning of the farmers’ market season for four markets associated with the Southern Tier Farmers Market Group. The Olean Southern Tier Farmers Market will open at Tractor Supply on Constitution Avenue in Olean at 2 p.m. There will be lots of annuals, vegetable plants and hanging baskets, as well as maple products, gourmet mustard, oak wood products, patio furniture and, of course, baked goods. There will also be early vegetables and herbs. The Salamanca Farmers Market will be open starting at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, May 23 in Jefferson Park. New this year will be loyalty cards, which offer a discount after a specified number of purchases. EBT cards, as well as debit and credit cards are welcome at all markets. The Farmers Market
Nutrition Program for WIC and Seniors begins on June 1 this year. The checks are available from the Cattaraugus County Department of Aging and the Cattaraugus County Department of Health for eligible families. Geraniums and cemetery planters will be available as well as maple products, honey, early vegetables and bedding plants. The Franklinville Market will open the following week on May 29 in Park Square. Opening earlier this year than in previous years will allow our Franklinville friends to shop for plants and early vegetables. This market will be able to accept FMNP checks from WIC and Seniors as well as EBT. The fourth market operated by this group is in Belmont beginning Thursday, May 23. There are several new
vendors signed up for this market including a baker, patio furniture, handmade jewelry and Amish leather goods. Returning vendors offer vegetables and fruits, honey, maple products, eggs, embroidery, Nunda mustard and patio furniture. Farmers’ markets allow consumers to purchase locally grown and produced food, plants and craft items. By purchasing from a farmers’ market, you save on transportation, packaging and middleman costs. Be sure to have a conversation with the vendors at market and ask about their growing methods, their farms and their families. Ample, convenient parking is available at all sites. Market vendors look forward to seeing established friends and making new ones!
wingspan, are dark brown and have feathery antennae and can fly. Both the adult female and male can be identified by the inverted V-shape that points to a dot on the wings. While most campers expect a few moths flying around their cabin porch light each night, being inundated with thousands of them while trying to eat a meal around the campfire is quite a different story. How does the park plan to stop the spread of these moths? “The Gypsy Moth Suppression program will treat approximately 2,052 acres in Allegany State Park,” explained Bierfeldt. “The treatment includes a single application of Gypchek to 1,050 acres of high use area. In addition, 1,002 acres of hemlock old growth forest will receive two applications of Gypchek.” Gypchek is a viral insecticide, which only targets gypsy moth caterpillars. The active
ingredient, nucleopolyhedrosis virus (NPV), naturally occurs wherever gypsy moths are present. NPV does not infect the caterpillars of other endangered species such as butterflies. The scheduling of these treatments is dependent on weather, and larval and leaf development, but it is estimated that the first treatment will begin on May 16. The treatment should not affect campers or visitors to the park, other than the brief noise of a low-flying plane.

Holiday Valley Hosts June 9
By Jesse Mast
To run or to ride a bicycle? That’s a fair question, but for those who have a hard time deciding, the 2013 Dirty Duathlon and Dirty Bit Trail Run at Holiday Valley Resort will allow them to do both. The action is set to take place June 9 at Holiday Valley. The annual event has enjoyed “12 years of hard-core trail running and mountain biking,” said event organizer Mark Lawrence. Lawrence said the event draws about 100-250 people each year. The event will consist of two timed races held simultaneously on the same course. Beginning and ending at the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center, the course consists of four miles of Holiday Valley’s cross-country trails. Athletes will encounter various types of terrain: dirt, gravel, rocks, grass and hills — just no pavement. Runners in the Dirty Bit Trail Run will complete one lap of this scenic course. Those for
whom four miles is not enough may opt for the Duathlon, in which they will complete three laps on the same course. After racing the first lap on foot, athletes will grab their bicycles and race two more laps, this time on two wheels. This race may be done solo or in a twoperson tag team. Both the Dirty Bit Trail Run and the Dirty Duathlon will begin at 10 a.m. Prizes will be awarded to the overall male and female finisher for each race, as well the overall team in the Dirty Duathlon. In addition, awards will be given three-deep in 10year age groups for each race. Pre-registration for the event ends June 5, after which there will be an additional $5 fee. Event T-shirts will be given to the first 300 registrants. There is a field limit of 100 participants per class. However, race-day registration is available, unless sold out, beginning at 8 a.m. Packet pickup will be at 8 a.m. at the Holiday Valley Mountain Sports Center, and
a pre-race meeting for both events will take place at 9:50 a.m. Registration costs are as follows: $45 for duathlon solo competitors; $55 for duathlon teams; and $25 for trail run competitors. Proceeds from the event help support HEART Animal Shelters. “We support HEART throughout the year and are proud to donate thousands for this great organization,” Lawrence said. Helmets are mandatory for those on mountain bicycles. Because the course includes highly technical trail sections, cyclocross bicycles are not recommended for the duathlon. For out-of-town athletes, the Inn at Holiday Valley offers a special athlete rate Saturday night. For special lodging offers, visit heartrateup.com and click on the link provided.

was held Tuesday, May 14. “We hope voters will approve the work we’ve done.” During the hearing, District Superintendent Mark Ward made a presentation outlining the highlights and challenges the board faced during the budget process. In addition, the four board candidates introduced themselves to the small audience. Ward summarized the carefully constructed budget that includes a $144,000 investment in new computers that must be purchased to fulfill state requirements for testing and assessments, plus another $60,000 for the purchase of materials and training related to the implementation of the Core Curriculum. The budget also includes $210,000 in contributions to the employee retirement plan — a 37 percent increase over last year. In order to fund these required expenses, Ward explained that the board looked for ways to reduce spending in other areas. Some of these reductions include elimination of one English teacher position (through a
retirement), elimination of one maintenance and transportation staff position and cuts in administrative, equipment, supplies, athletics, insurance and other costs. The total budget of $10,891,507 represents a 2.3 percent ($249,000) increase over last year, much of which can be attributed to the state’s mandated expenses. “We feel this is a reasonable budget,” Ward said following the public hearing. “Though we’ve cut back in some areas, we’ve been able to keep the quality of education high while meeting the State’s new requirements,” he added. The budget vote will appear on ballots as “Basic Budget – Proposition #1.” Two other propositions will be on the ballot as well. “School Bus Lease – Proposition #2” would authorize the board to lease two new buses (66 passengers each) for each of the next five years. “Ellicottville Memorial Library – Proposition #3” would authorize the district to give $28,500 to the library as part of a long-standing state statute. The amount represents
a $500 increase over last year’s contribution. If voters do not approve this measure, the library will still receive last year’s amount of $28,000. The final item on the ballot is the “Board Member Election Voting.” Four candidates are running for three open positions. The candidates with the two highest vote counts will be named to two fiveyear terms beginning on July 1, 2013. The candidate with the third highest number of votes will complete the last four years of the term vacated by Aimee Kilby and e regular Board meeting to be held on the day of the election. The election takes place Tuesday, May 21, from 1-8 p.m. in the Elementary School Foyer. A board of education meeting will be held the same evening at 7:30 p.m. in the High School Library. NOTE: The May issue of the ECS School Newsletter includes a 12-page insert detailing the 2013-14 budget.

1887 Building Sale to Sprague a No-Go By Jann Wiswall
Ellicottville developer Kody Sprague has abandoned plans purchase the 1887 Building. He had hoped to turn it into a boutique hotel. Sprague had until May 15 to do the due diligence on the project and make a final decision. The no-go decision was made
after consultants concluded that the “business model just wasn’t going to work,” said Sprague. Revenue projections based on market conditions were lower than expected, and expense projections were higher. And, “parking remained a major stumbling block” since the Village Board

was unable to accommodate Sprague’s request to designate 10-12 parking spots adjacent to the building for hotel use only, because it is public land and cannot legally be designated for any single building or purpose, according to Village Attorney Bob Simon.
Springville Center for the Arts Expansion Underway By Jann Wiswall
The Springville Center for the Arts has a new home in a former Baptist Church at 37 North Buffalo St. and is in the process of renovating the building to provide top-notch theater, gallery, educational, performance and rehearsal space for now and into the future.
Springville’s theater arts community has been thriving for many years, beginning back in the 1960s with the birth of The Community Musical and then the Springville Players. As the success of their productions grew, space constantly was an issue. Productions moved from the high school to the elementary school and then to a Main Street location, where, in addition to theater programs, the center offered workshops, visual art shows, residencies, musical performances, cinema and more. By 2006, it became obvious that the Main Street location was inadequate for the growing organization, so the board launched a capital campaign, raised $100,000 in three months, and purchased the church in 2007. According to the center’s Executive Director, Seth Wochensky, members have
since raised $525,000 from the New York State Historic Preservation Office, the Community Foundation of Greater Buffalo, the New York State Council on the Arts, Erie County, the SpringvilleGriffith Community Education Foundation, and individual donors to make exterior and structural repairs and to a second-story classroom addition for the center’s growing educational programs. This phase of the project will be completed by fall. The next phase will include interior renovations to create increased theater seating, more gallery hanging space and secondary rehearsal and performance spaces. The center also recently acquired a building at 5 East Main St., a dilapidated, but historic structure that had been vacant for years. It plans to create an Arts Café in the building, with a coffee shop, a gallery and artist residency spaces. According to Wochensky, the center plans to install a publicly accessible “green roof” on the building where vegetables and flowers will grow. There will be a greywater collection system, which will be used to irrigate the gardens and other efforts will be made to make the building as green as possible, within the confines of historic building status rules. All this expansion is not only valuable to the artists in the region, but also “serves as a catalyst to bring more
investment into the village,” Wochensky said, adding the arts can be “a key part of the economic growth of an area.” For example, he noted last weekend’s Arts Crawl, during which art by dozens of regional artists was displayed in local businesses. “The event attracted some 1,000 visitors to the village who spent time and money in shops they may never have been in before,” he said. Despite the construction status, the center has a full slate of adult and children’s activities planned for this summer, Wochensky said. The center’s art camps, workshops and performances for elementary age children are extremely popular, and there are dozens of musical and dramatic programs planned for adults as well. On June 1 at 7 p.m., the center is presenting a new and exclusive production called “Four Seasons, Four Years” featuring 11 singers and musicians performing Civil War music. The performance will include an historical narrative specific to New York and the New York Volunteer Regiments. Tickets are $20 each and may be purchased through the center’s website, where the full calendar of summer events and activities will be posted soon.

Are we all completely stressed out or are we getting dumber? All of us, it seems, ask some pretty inane questions of each other, particularly in casual conversation. A few weeks ago I’m on my walk, a one-hour loop around Morgan’s Point, and I pass a guy standing on a ladder cleaning out his eaves trough and he yells: “Hey! I see you’re still walkin’!” And I wave and give him a thumbs up and carry on … walkin’! But what I really want to do was stop and say: “So what was the first clue, the continual forward motion with the complete absence of wheels?” I do it myself with my 11-year-old niece. “Geez Leighann, look how tall you’re getting, eh?” And she gets embarrassed and gives me a hug but one day I fully expect her to say: “Yeah, that’s why I’ve started smoking cigars Uncle Bill, to slow the process down a bit.” We all do it. You run into somebody as you’re about to take a seat at the cinema and you say: “Hey! What are you doin’ here?” The person will probably humour you by saying: “Here to see a movie,” or “Same as you.” But one of these days you’re going to hear: “Oh I thought you knew,
I’m a part-time, plain-clothes usher. Would half way down and in the middle be okay?” The most ridiculous question you will ever hear comes when you’re sitting in the dentist’s chair. “Tell me if this hurts, okay?” And your reply: “Ooo, oo, na, na.” But what you really want to say is: “Ah, I am unable to actually talk with this dazzling array of tools in my mouth so if you just hand me that scaler, every time I feel pain, I’ll just jab you a couple of times in the thigh.” I go into the convenience store where I get my gas and I get behind a guy who is attempting to win every lottery in the world one day. He’s buying new tickets, the woman behind the counter is checking his previous tickets, bells are going off, an electronic voice announces “winner” in both official languages and I’m standing there holding a box of English muffins and a package of thin-sliced turkey. Passengers on Carnival Cruises spend less time in lifeboats together than Mr. Lottery and me. And he looks over his shoulder and says: “Not a lottery player, eh?” And I shook my head and
mumbled about the original concept of convenience stores but what I really wanted to say was: “No, I come here for an hour each day as part of my ongoing hunger strike.” It’s gotta be stress. I’m working harder now at the end of my career than when it started with me writing an entire magazine each month using six or so pseudonyms. I have column deadlines, a book to finish, a travel feature to sell, an author series to operate and a local theatre to help save. So, the other day, late in the afternoon I decided I needed a break. I decided to spend one delicious hour staring at a fire on the break wall and sipping a glass of wine. First, I needed wood. So I’m over by the creek wearing rubber boots and shorts and throwing dead pieces of wood into my wheel barrel when my new neighbour walks over trying to catch her unruly but hopelessly adorable dog Molly. After some small talk, Carol looks at me, looks at the wheel barrel and says: “So you do this just to kill time?” Seriously, in order to avoid some smart-ass answers, we need to ask better questions.

5th Annual Routes to Art Cont. from Front Page
it’s all about the adventure of being in the elements, sharing an experience. Routes to Art is an exploration, an adventure, and it might be strange for me to say this — it’s not just about the art.” So load up the van with friends and family — yes, kids love this adventure-filled event, too — and start exploring. As you’re driving, look for the red vertical Routes to Art banners, as well as large lawn signs with the Routes to Art logo, placed in front of studios and sponsoring locations. “The best way I’ve found, personally, is to bring a GPS with you just in case, decide where you want to have lunch, have a copilot to handle the map (or smartphone) and to take your time. I like to start at the far north, so at the end of the day we’re close to home,” explained Conroy-
Baiter. “My girls and I head out early morning, grab coffee for the trip (donuts for them) and take mostly smaller roads to enjoy the spring scenery. I plan in a little spending money for each of them so they can bring something home. Of course, I bring significantly more spending money for me and I never return home disappointed!” Although many associate original art with an unaffordable price tag, most, if not all, RTA artists offer items at many different price points. While artists participate with RTA for the sales, of course, RTA also presents an important opportunity to share their work, to enjoy reactions, to tell their story, and it gives them a chance to see and be seen. As a bonus, you’ll be entered in the RTA raffle drawing each time you sign in at an artist’s
location. Prizes include artwork by Karen Fitzpatrick (stained glass candleholder), Jennifer Miller (genuine Tiger’s Eye bead and Argentium sterling silver, chain not included) and Todd Plough (“Allegany Ice Flow,” limited edition print of oil painting). The more studios you visit, the better your odds! Drawing will take place sometime this summer. So, fill up your gas tank and begin exploring the inner workings of the art world! The rewarding return will be worth its weight in fabulous fine art and you will arrive home richer for the experience. You can download a printable brochure complete with map and artist descriptions at www. routestoart.com or stop at any RTA artist location for a free copy.

as Village Planner. Betsy Kerns will remain in the position of Acting Village Justice and Mary Schuster was reappointed as Village Court Clerk. This year’s commissioners include: Budget Officer, Streets – Charles Coolidge; Zoning & Planning, Beautification – Patra Lowes; Parks, Refuse – Greg Cappelli; Water, Sewer – Bob Brogcinski; and Sidewalks, Parking – Sherman Wilkins Some changes were made to the makeup of several other boards. The Village Planning Board reappointed Sheila Burrell to another five-year term. The Village Zoning Board of Appeals appointed Jody Bentley and Robby Wilkins to new five-year terms, and the Comprehensive Planning Committee added Greg Cappelli to its membership. The board also approved an increase for mileage reimbursement when village employees are asked to use their personal vehicles for official village business. The new reimbursement rate will be $.56.5 per mile beginning July 1, 2013. Regular Business: The board’s regular meeting included a report from DPW Superintendent Harold Morton, who noted that the department had been busy in April planting trees, mowing, patching holes in streets, installing benches around the village, mulching, sweeping, repairing equipment,
replacing two non-functioning water meters and testing/ maintaining village lagoons. Mayor Charles Coolidge said that some residents are not complying with village rules pertaining to brush piles, noting that some are leaving brush and other material on or near sidewalks long after the scheduled first Monday of the month pickup. To illustrate the problem, Constable Howard Gifford distributed photos he had taken at several locations. Coolidge suggested that warnings will have to be sent to violators who could also be fined. Gifford reported that he issued 17 traffic summonses and eight warnings in the village in April. There were two open container complaints and one public urination complaint. His department also assisted the Sheriff’s Office with a hit-and-run incident and issued three parking tickets. Also, $945 was collected by the office for previously issued parking tickets. Village Engineer Mike Smith said that building permit requests are beginning to pick up and five permits were issued during the past month. Smith also reported that: The New York State DOT’s suggested plan for locating new water lines along Route 242 will not work given the location of gas lines. He said he will propose an alternative
to the state. FEMA has provided a preliminary response to the village/town floodplain study. The response will be reviewed by the Four Flushers and the floodplain project consultant this week, and an update will be provided to the board at the June meeting. The NYS DEC has confirmed that the EPA reviewed its plans for the replacement of the wastewater treatment plant and will allow the DEC to proceed without EPA involvement. Other Business: Coolidge reported that he has been invited to join a county committee to address what to do with abandoned or unused buildings that may or may not be contaminated. The committee was convened by Crystal Abers, Cattaraugus County’s director of economic development, planning and tourism, and includes town supervisors, Olean Mayor Linda Witte and others. Coolidge also reported that the village will allow residents to set up tables on the Town and Village Hall front lawn on Saturday, May 25 for the annual community-wide Lawn Sale. Permits, rules and regulations will be available from the mayor’s office soon. The next meeting of the Village Board will be held on Monday, June 10 at 6 p.m. in the Town and Village Hall.

BESECKER & COSS
MEMORIAL WEEKEND SPECIALS Nutrition: Be Aware of Buzzwords by Michael Williams
Take a quick stroll down any grocery aisle and you’ll find hundreds of food packages, each carrying a mixed bag of nutrition buzzwords, health claims and purchase incentives. These buzzwords and claims are used to influence your purchase decision by selling you on perceived health benefits. Unfortunately, many of these have little meaning and some are outright misleading. Below is an explanation to some common nutrition buzzwords that you may see during your next grocery trip. NATURAL: “Natural” is one of the most pervasive buzzwords. Its actual meaning depends upon where it is used. For meat and poultry, the USDA has regulated the word “natural” to mean the product was minimally processed and is free of artificial ingredients or added colors. For all other foods, unfortunately, the term “natural” does not have a regulatory meaning. Essentially, it is meaningless. It is used for both whole, “directly from nature” foods and Franken foods full of additives, preservatives and artificial ingredients. The only certainty about foods labeled “natural” is the cost. Expect to pay $1-$2 more for this meaningless label. If you want to eat more natural, additive-free, minimally processed foods, then look at the ingredients list. Foods that do not have a laundry list of unpronounceable ingredients are likely more natural. Likewise, if you want to have healthier foods, then peek at the sodium, sugar and
saturated fat content. ORGANIC: Organic food is currently the fastest growing segment of the food industry. Foods grown organically are “green;” they are great for the environment and arguably better for farmers (due to less contact with potentially caustic synthetic pesticides). But are organic foods inherently healthy? Currently the jury is still out. To date, there has been an absence of scientific studies finding any notable difference in nutrient quality between organic and non-organic foods. This carries two implications. First, healthy foods (fruits, vegetables, whole grains, etc.) are still healthy whether they are organic or nonorganic. Likewise, not-so-healthy foods (chocolate cake, French fries, ice cream, etc.) are still not so healthy even if they are organic. VEGAN: Foods are considered vegan if they are free of animal products (i.e. meat) or animal by-products (i.e. dairy). Eating vegan does have many benefits. The foods are cholesterol-free (dietary cholesterol is only found in animal-based foods). They are also high in fiber (dietary fiber is only found in plant-based foods). Due to occupying a lower place on the food chain, these foods may be more sustainable and better for the environment. Finally, the greatest benefit is for the spared animals (that would be eaten). Like organics, vegan food is a fast-growing sector of the food industry. It’s also similar in that many people associate the food label “vegan” as
meaning healthful. It is easy to understand this misconception, as a high fiber content and absence of dietary cholesterol is beneficial. Unfortunately, this logic does not always hold. In the last decade the amount of vegan junk food options have skyrocketed. There is vegan ice cream, cookies, cakes, potato chips and candies available in nearly every town across America. Are these foods healthy? Are they healthier than the non-vegan versions? Not necessarily. Although the vegan ice cream, cookies and candies are cholesterol free, they also contain high levels of sugar, salt and/or saturated fat. By increasing these ingredients, the health benefits are essentially negated. One of the healthiest choices we can make is to eat less food with labels. Chose whole foods, those that actually look like they come from nature (whether plant or animal). This can be done easily by shopping the perimeter of a grocery store or shopping at a farmers’ market. When purchasing bagged and boxed foods remember the following: Natural likely means nothing (unless it’s on a package of meat or poultry). Vegan and organic food is great for the environment, but not necessarily nutritionally superior or healthier than the nonorganic versions. Finally, junk food will always be junk food even if labeled vegan, organic or natural. (Michael Williams is a local, Dartmouth-trained Registered Dietitian-Nutritionist.

Department Head Reports: Highway Superintendent Dave Golley reported that work continues on completing the department’s new facilities. The department also has been busy repairing roads and drains.
Town Engineer Mark Alianello was absent for the meeting, but Burrell reported that he and Alianello met with a consultant to discuss tank options for the East Tank project. The consultant offered some alternatives and guidance on placement. Alianello and the town will do a cost/benefit analysis on the options. The board next approved a HoliMont Betterment Sidewalk Project resolution that was needed by the state to authorize the project. Old Business: Trustee Ken Hinman reported that the
recreational trail committee has raised enough funds to start consultant Rick Manning and engineer Mark Alianello on developing a master plan for the trail. The master plan is the essential next step before major fundraising efforts can begin. Hinman also announced that there will be an informational open house at the Extension Service Building on Tuesday, June 11 from 4–7 p.m. to allow interested residents and visitors to learn more about the trail and view possible routes.

Master aster Your Garden
By Barbara Kozlowski, Master Gardener Well, Mother Nature sure seems to enjoy playing games with us. We had been easing into a delightful spring — rain to soften the soil, spring bulbs blooming, trees and shrubs beginning to leaf out, spring flowers about ready to burst. Then we get wacked with a hard freeze (it was 26 degrees at my house overnight this week). But now we can look forward to a warming trend that will hopefully stay with us and maybe my Wisteria will bloom this year. Weather does create problems in our gardens. Consequently, we must be vigilant and pay attention to weather forecasts (although sometimes they seem like the weather persons are out in left field) and pursue our gardening chores accordingly. Since the soil has softened somewhat from the rains we recently received, it’s the perfect time to weed our gardens. As you weed, be aware of any new shoots from your perennials poking through the soil. As you are aware, these new shoots are very tender and easily broken or damaged by too vigorous and aggressive weeding. Be gentle around the tender shoots when weeding. This is a good time to prep your vegetable garden for the upcoming season. Add amendments such as compost to replace nutrients used in last year’s plantings. Rotate your crops, large or small to prevent total nutrient depletion. This will give you optimum return from your plants, and there is nothing like picking fresh veggies out of your own garden and serving them for your own personal pleasure. Mmm, I can taste them already! One of the first veggie/fruit available from the garden is rhubarb. My grandmother grew it and I loved her rhubarb pie. Another one is asparagus. I planted asparagus roots last year but will have to wait another year to harvest. These aren’t difficult to grow and once planted, you need to amend to soil every fall and keep the area around the plants weed free. I came across a sauce recipe in the “Ball Blue Book - Guide to Preserving for Rhubarb.” Here’s the recipe:
Victoria Sauce 2 quarts chopped rhubarb (12 stalks) 1 1/2 cups chopped raisins 1/2 cup chopped onion 3 1/2 cups brown sugar 1/2 cup vinegar 1 teaspoon each of allspice, cinnamon, ginger & Ball salt Combine rhubarb, raisins, onion, sugar and vinegar in a large saucepot. Simmer until thick. As mixture thickens, stir frequently to prevent sticking. Add spices and cook 5 minutes longer. Ladle hot sauce into hot jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps. Process 15 minutes in boiling-water canner. Yields about 4 pints. If you are not into canning or do not have the proper equipment, seal the jars and when cooled, store in the refrigerator for no more than one month or use immediately. This sauce will compliment a variety of meats, poultry, and some fish or seafood. It could also be used with ice cream or scones. Enjoy! Saturday, May 18, the Master Gardeners will hold a Plant Swap at the Nannen Arboretum. All are welcome! Bring one plant, take one plant; bring 10, take home 10. Arrive by 9 a.m. Swap begins at 9:30 a.m. Rain or shine. Hope to see you there!

“Frozen in Time” by Mitchell Zuckoff
“ “Frozen in Time” is a gripping true story of survival, bravery, and honor in tthe vast Arctic wilderness during World War II, from the author of New Yo Times bestseller “Lost in Shangri-La”. York O November 5, 1942, a US cargo plane slammed into the Greenland On Ice Cap. Four days later, the B-17 assigned to the search-and-rescue mi mission became lost in a blinding storm and also crashed. Miraculously, all nine men on board survived, and the US military launched a daring re rescue operation. But after picking up one man, the Grumman Duck am amphibious plane flew into a severe storm and vanished. “Frozen in Time” tells the story of these crashes and the fate of the su survivors, bringing vividly to life their battle to endure 148 days of th brutal Arctic winter, until an expedition headed by famed Arctic the e explorer Bernt Balchen brought them to safety. Mitchell Zuckoff takes th reader deep into the most hostile environment on earth, through the h hurricane-force winds, vicious blizzards, and subzero temperatures. Moving forward to today, he recounts the efforts of the Coast Guard a North South Polar Inc., led by indefatigable dreamer Lou Sapienza, and wo who worked for years to solve the mystery of the Duck’s last flight and recover the remains of its crew. A breathtaking blend of mystery and adventure Mitchell Zuckoff’s “Frozen in Time: An Epic Story of Survival and a Modern Quest for Lost Heroes of World War II” is also a poignant reminder of the sacrifices of our military personnel and a tribute to the everyday heroism of the US Coast Guard.

Burning Asphalt Heats Up Your Palate
By Jeff Martin
It started with a furniture business and product line, and now Jeffrey Furash of Burning Asphalt Sauces has become a kind of hot sauce guru of Western New York. Back in 2003, Furash was in Florida when someone suggested that Burning Asphalt would be a great name for a line of hot sauces. At the time, Furash was building his company Burning Asphalt Racetracks, a mobile outfit that allowed participants to operate radio-controlled vehicles along a track, a popular venture at events like car dealerships. Furash thought about it and went home. One night in his garage, he tinkered with a recipe or two. Packaging 48 individual bottles, he took them to the Genesee County Fair and sold out within a matter of hours. He made more and took them to the Chautauqua County Fair, selling out in hours. “I had something,” Furash said recently from South Dayton. “It made sense and people loved it.” Along with help from his wife Marilyn Sticek, a retired postmaster in Forestville and partner in all Furash business ventures, Furash created Burning Asphalt Sauces. He found a food maker and distributor and it’s been a white-hot success ever since.
Starting with three products, the business now offers 100plus sauce-type products, ranging from BBQ sauces, salsas, ketchup, seasonings, soup, snacks and coffee. His number one seller, apple barbecue sauce, has been featured on the Food Network. In fact, four other products have been plugged on the network, too. Furash has come a long way in his business ventures. Back in the 1990s, he came up with the idea of constructing beds in the shape of racecars and dressers in the shape of tool chests. Pit Stop Furniture Company flowed from that idea, one of the first in the country to come up with the concept. “We were pretty popular, and I think a lot of people in Ellicottville will remember it,” he said. From furniture and then racetracks and, finally, sauces, Furash has made a name for himself. Based in Western
New York, Burning Asphalt products are sold in stores in 35 states. In Ellicottville, his sauces can be found in Earth Arts. Perhaps his most impressive accomplishment is his Sauces for Soldiers program, whereby his company sends products overseas to service men and women. Revenue generated by a cookbook, “Taste the Attitude,” published by South Dayton Supermarket, goes directly to the Sauces for Soldiers program. “That program has been there since the beginning,” Furash said, adding that the concept arose after his wife came up with the idea after working in the post office environment and began writing and shipping essential items to service men, including books, toiletries and junk food. Hot sauce was popular among them, and when Furash started the hot sauce business, they began sending their own. “Military men and women do so much for us, and it’s right to give back,” he said. Shipments overseas contain a variety of items. The cookbook itself contains 110 recipes, most of which were created and tested by his wife. The program has attracted much attention and garnered Furash several awards. Last year, Burning Asphalt sent more than 1,000 orders overseas. The cookbook is available for purchase at South Dayton Supermarket, Evans Bank in Forestville, Willow Creek Winery and Sheridan VFW. It can also be requested at any location that sells Burning Asphalt Sauces, Twisted Vine Gardens, or Soulshine Coffee products. For more information about the business or to order the cookbook, visit www. burningasphalt.com or www. saucesforsoldiers.com.
Faith & Spirituality Today As we enjoy the new life that Spring brings, we are reminded of the Scripture, “The grass withers and the flower fades, but the Word of the Lord endures forever.” The Bible also tells us,“that which is seen is temporal, but that which is not seen is eternal.” While we enjoy the fleeting beauty of Spring we can also invest in something that is Eternal. We invite you to join us as we study and discuss the Word of God together.
Saturday evenings we gather to consider and discuss the Life of Christ. No matter what your beliefs are, or what your experiences have been regarding faith and the spiritual life, we invite you to join us.

ECS Sports Central: ECS Varsity Baseball Earns Senior Night Sweet Win May was filled with disappointing losses for the ECS varsity baseball team against Ripley, Brocton, North Collins, West Valley and Sherman, but on May 15, the taste of victory was sweet. The Eagles went head to head with Franklinville Central and came out on top in a highscoring affair. The ECS 13-12 win brought a tough pitching game as the two teams put up 25 runs combined. There were 28 hits, including four extra base hits in the game. The game was back-and-forth heading into the eighth, with five lead changes. The Eagles finally managed to grab the win in exciting
fashion. Phalla Musall started the last inning off with a leadoff triple and finally stole home with two outs in the bottom of the eighth inning to give ECS the win in their last home game of the year. It was also Senior Night as the Eagles honored their lone senior player, Alex Steinbroner, with a win in his last home appearance. Alex Delity went a perfect 4-4 at the plate, doubled in the second inning and singled in the first, sixth and seventh innings. Robert Sawicki got the win in relief for the Eagles working through 5 1/3 innings. He struck out two, walked five and surrendered five hits. Sawicki
also went 3 for 6 at the plate. The Eagles pounded Franklinville’s pitching, as six hitters combined for 16 hits, eight RBIs and 12 runs scored. Jumping out to an early 3-0 lead in the bottom of the first, the Eagles’ rally started when Sawicki singled. Musall reached home on a wild pitch. ECS then tacked on more runs when Sawicki scored on an RBI double by Alex Fisher, and Fisher scored on an RBI single by Delity. Also adding to the Ellicottville hit parade was Fisher 3 for 5, Dylan Paprocki, 3 for 6 and Calum Watt 2 for 5 with a triple.

ECS Amusement Park Opens For Business Cont. from Front Page
and builds a final engineering project to display at the Annual Science, Math, and Technology Exposition. This year’s Exposition will be held on Tuesday, May 21 from 6–8 p.m. This year high school students in the Robotics class joined forces with the Transportation Systems class to create a miniature, fully functioning amusement park. The Transportation Systems class designed, built, and programmed the park’s transportation systems. The park features an automated parking lot, a remote control monorail, a gondola to travel through the mountains to the other end of the park, an automated transit system that travels between the rides, a ferry ride on the perimeter of the park, and a safari adventure. The Engineering Design/
Robotics class was responsible for designing, building and programming the park’s attractions. Using the Tetrix Robotics kits, each group was given an area of the park to create their own amusement park framework and rides. Attractions include a pirate ship, Ferris wheel, UFO, cliff drop, mega swing, and the tower of terror. Each ride and transportation system is programmed and controlled using Lab View robotic programming software. The park can be programmed and controlled through the four computers set up in the park command center and features two remote control cameras that allow the students to monitor the park from the park command center. One camera is mounted on the front of the monorail. The other is
suspended above the park on a wire that allows the automated camera to traverse back and forth across the park. The amusement park will be set up in the Tech Room for the next month as elementary students are given the opportunity to see and learn how Science, Math, & Technology come together to affect our lives. The Technology Education program at ECS continues to grow and as new technologies emerge, the curriculum changes to reflect today’s world. The technology jobs of tomorrow have not even been created yet. The goal is to prepare the students with the ability to learn, critically evaluate, and apply new concepts that come their way.
Girls on the Run Inspires Young Girls to Be Healthy and Confident by Alicia Dziak
Life for girls in 2013 is a lot different from life for girls in the past. Girls today lead fastpaced lives filled with hectic schedules and peer pressure. Finding outlets to decompress and just be themselves can be tough, not to mention finding the time to stay fit while facing the everyday challenges of preadolescence. Girls on the Run (GOTR) is a program for girls in third through eighth grades that combines training for a 5K running event with healthy living education. The program is broken down into Girls on the Run (third through fifth grades) and Girls on Track (sixth through eighth grades). “Research shows that around fourth grade is when self-esteem plummets in girls, and between fourth and fifth grades is when girls are most likely to drop out of organized sports,” said Katie Joyce, GOTR council director. “This program addresses these issues at an age where it can make a big difference to these girls.” The mission of GOTR is to instill self-esteem through health education, life skills development, mentoring relationships, and physical training — all of which are accomplished through an active collaboration with girls and their parents, schools, volunteers, staff and the community. Joyce and her “running buddy” Meghan Cavanaugh had heard about the success of GOTR, a national program, from friends and family living in other states. “I wanted to start a program at my daughter’s school, but since there was no council yet in Western New York, we had to start that first,” Joyce said. The two friends went through the lengthy process of establishing the Buffalo Girls on the Run Council in the fall of 2010. “At that time, we had three schools participating,” Joyce explained. “Now we have close to 70 sites, and almost 1,000 girls participating.” Coaches follow a detailed curriculum that addresses
Springville Elementary School’s Girls on the Run
topics like self-esteem, bullying, peer pressure and being a good friend. “Girls on the Run is a fun way to exercise while learning about different ways to handle problems my friends and I face in fourth grade,” said Ava D., 9, of Springville, who is participating in GOTR for the second time. Springville Elementary School’s Girls on the Run program was started in the fall of 2012 by Michelle Solly, a physical education teacher at Springville Elementary School. “When I found out what this program was about, I knew it would be a perfect fit for our school,” said Solly. “I truly feel that this program has been a huge success here at SES. It has been so much fun seeing all the girls’ self-confidence increase and realizing that running can be fun!” GOTR programs are run in the fall (from September to November) and spring (from March to June), meeting twice a week, and culminate with a 5K, where the girls show off their decorated GOTR T-shirts and get hair sprayed in funky colors. Teams can be seen wearing tutus or matching hair accessories and enjoying each other’s company. The 5K event is not a competition among runners, but emphasizes each girl doing their personal best. In fact, every girl’s race number is the same — #1. The sense of accomplishment on each girl’s face as she crosses the finish line and receives her GOTR medal is rewarding and unforgettable. Although there is a cost to those participating in the

program, financial aid is available. “About 38 percent of our girls receive aid of some kind,” said Joyce. “We also have 22 schools that are fully funded by the program.” GOTR also provides sneakers to girls who are in need. “In most sports, if you can’t afford the equipment to play, you can’t play,” said Joyce. “In Girls on the Run, our goal is to reach out to all girls and give them an opportunity to participate in an organized exercise program, regardless of their financial situation.” Aid is raised through grants and various fundraisers. The biggest fundraiser for GOTR is the upcoming 5K to be held on June 2 at UB’s North Campus. The race is open to the public and is a great way to witness the positive affect GOTR has had on young girls in our community. To register for the run, visit www. gotrbuffalo.org. New sites wishing to start GOTR for fall 2013 must be reserved by August 1, although reserving them before school lets out for the summer is preferred, so that GOTR can provide marketing materials for the girls at that site. “We currently have programs in all eight counties in Western New York, and would love to expand to more schools in the southern tier,” Joyce said. Anyone interested in starting a GOTR program at a school or community center can visit www.gotrbuffalo.org or contact Katie Joyce at (716) 400-1019 or email katiej@ gotrbuffalo.org.

Paper cutting can be traced back to ancient China but credit is given to German immigrants in Pennsylvania for turning it into a popular folk art. In the 1800s, paper cutting was referred to as “scherenschnitte”, which means “scissor cutting” or “scissor snipping” in German. Some basic techniques will get you started on paper cutting.
